Transcriber’s notes
[The work as presented here is currently incomplete: owing to my complete ignorance of Arabic, one
column (the Princes of the Jinn) and some endnote material (the 99 names of God) in that language
have not been entered.]
This electronic edition of 777 was prepared from the version of 777 Revised printed in 777 and other
Qabalistic Writings (originally published as The Qabalah of Aleister Crowley). As far as I can tell
this was a facsimile from the 1955 first edition of 777 Revised; while Crowley’s original Preface was
re-set in the 1955 edition, the Tables of Correspondence, Crowley’s notes thereon, and the appendix
giving the trigrams and hexagrams of the I Ching were with minor exceptions straight facsimiles from
the original 1909 edition of 777.
In preparing the present edition I have included, besides the Preface, tables, notes and appendix from
the original edition, the following additional material from 777 Revised:
* The 11 additional columns (CLXXXIV – CXCIV). These were originally appended at the end of
Table VI. Six were explanatory of or supplementary to existing columns: (e.g. numerations of
Greek and Arabic letters, transliterations or translations; the “magical formulæ” column was
specifically referred to the column of magical weapons); these have been placed immediately
after the appropriate column. The others have been appended to the end of the appropriate table.
While they are hence “out of sequence” I feel this is unlikely to cause confusion as these
additional columns are rarely if ever directly referenced by number in other works.
* Additional correspondences as mentioned in Crowley’s remarks on the various columns. They
are inserted into the appropriate columns in double square brackets [[like this]].
Also added are:
* Numeration of Coptic.
* Transliterations of most Hebrew names.
In order to keep the present work at a manageable size, I have not included:
* Yorke’s editorial preface.
* The essay on the Magical Alphabet
* The Meaning of the Primes from 11 to 97.
* The “Various Arrangements” (mostly from The Book of Thoth)
* The “Explanations of the Attributions” – a series of remarks, some developing almost into essays,
on columns I-III, V-VIII, X, XI, XIII-XXII, XXXIV, XXXV, XXXVIII-XLIII, XLV, LVI-LXVIII, LXXVII-
LXXXVI, and XCVII.
* “What is Qabalah?”
* “What is a ‘Number’ or a ‘Symbol’?” (an extract from the New Comment on AL I.4)
Some of this additional material may later be made available in HTML format.
I have not attempted to preserve the original pagination of the tables of correspondence. For ease of
reading, columns are arranged from left to right across a single page. Obvious typos have been
corrected; other questionable readings are noted below.

The names here have been conformed to the
version of the Heptameron printed in the Lyons
edition of Agrippa’s Opera. Crowley, possibly
because he was working from a corrupted copy,
stated that none were given for Winter; although the
names he gave for the Sun and Moon in Autumn
were those referred to Winter by pseudo-Abano.

Probably in his Oedipus Ægypticus. It is this book
(late 17th century) which as far as I am aware
contains the earliest known appearance of the
version of the Tree of Life used by the G.D. and
Crowley, and in fact most modern Western
occultists. Other Tree of Life arrangements are
discussed by Aryeh Kaplan in his translation of the
Sepher Yetzirah.
Appendix: the Yi King
Transliterations of Chinese names follow the system
used by Legge in Sacred Books of the East, which is
not in general current use. Note that italicised letters
have different phonetic values to non-italicised (K is
“thin (tenuis) modified guttural consonant”, Kh
“aspirated thin modified guttural”). b represents the
‘neutral’ vowel sound. Where Crowley has ‘tz’,
Legge used a character something like a stylised 3,
which I have been unable to find in any of the
typefaces I currently have; but as far as I can tell
from the table of transliteration conventions, this is
equivalent to the Hebrew x (described helpfully as
“Spiritus asperrimus 2” under dental consonants).
While this may be a little awkward and confusing, I
would submit it is to be preferred to a transliteration
scheme which manages to give the same
transliteration for two different Chinese characters
(vide the Wilhelm-Baynes I Ching, s.v. Hexagram
63).
The main traditional glosses to the trigrams are:
